I like Knoppix. He's been pestering me to go try to get a sprite darter, so I know he's pretty crazy.

Knows his class, knows the game and is able to avoid MOST fire-related things except lava strikes!

I'm not crazy I swear....Just

App

Agoney — Fri, 02/06/2009 - 09:25

Other shadow priests? they exist? :P (this is antiquite btw, everyone just knows me better by agoney)

Well, I'll look at talents first. I'd make a few changes, it'd be a marginal increase in DPS, nothing huge or anything. I;d take the 3 out of reflective shield, and remove the one out of mental agility. SW:p isnt affected by the talent (at least, it wasnt before), and I'm not sure if Devouring plague is or not. With the 4 extra pts, I'd dump them into imp. shadowform and veiled shadows. Fade is an awesome ability now, and recently its gotten to the point where I'm catching the tank in aggro and nearly passing. The free snare removal is pretty good too. Having shadow fiend on a 3 minute cooldown is a huge plus. Dispersion is nice, but its lost DPS when its used. With the shadowfiend you lose nothing but a GCD.

Gear is pretty decent from looking like just being limited to 10 mans. Check out shadowpriest.com and there gear thread, is pretty informative. It also gives a nice list of which items you should aim to get for having hit cap, with the best/least sacrifice of other ratings. I'd re-thread the pants to the spirit ones. Replace the all spell crit/spell haste with either spell dmg /crit or spell dmg/spirit. Change your meta gem to the +dmg and crit dmg one or whatever the one mine is, i cant think of the name atm. You'll need 2 blue gems to satisfy the requirement. Everything else should be straight spell dmg unless the socket bonus is really worth it. I'd also re-enchant your gloves to +spell power, being at hit cap isn't super super important as it was previously. Thatd leave you around 270 something, which actually, with a draeni in raid is over hitcap.

Yeah I have been meaning to

Knoppix (not verified) — Fri, 02/06/2009 - 09:46

Yeah I have been meaning to change a few things with my spec the imp pws is not necessary(hurry up with dual spec blizz). Also yeah I have been meaning to re gem/chant I have yet to find a JC with the meta gem you mentioned nor do I have 2 blue sockets which is the reason I have not yet done it. Once I get more 25 man gear I am sure this will be alot easier for me to switch gear around. I have looked at shadowpriest.com many times and as far as 10 man some of what they suggest has not dropped. I do have some of the 25 man gear ranked 2 in the lists but it actually lowers my haste, crit and hit more than I like so I am not using it until I can find gear to balance it out. Other than that I am up for nay suggestions. Thanks!

Well, he can avoid standing in fire/crapontheground. He's obviously over qualified for Kitten Brigade.

What's going on with this app? I got excited when I read it. You've got to keep your app bumped man!

How did your 10man turn out?

garreth — Thu, 12/11/2008 - 13:38

I think Knoppix was able to get his guild rebooted and now they're thriving again. I'm going to leave the app open for a bit, but it looks like he's got a good thing going :)

Yep Garreth is right and I

Knoppix (not verified) — Fri, 12/12/2008 - 10:18

Yep Garreth is right and I have talked to him about this aw well. Also like I told him please dont ever be afraid to ask me fo help that includes any Downfall member. I am willing to help any of you guys as you all have been very helpful and very kind to me along the way. I will be contributing to Downfall as I can (Garreth knows what I am taking about) and will do w/e I can to stay in touch with you all on the site and in game so just pm me whenever.

 

Our 10 man turned out excellent and we successfully cleared Naxx in 2 days time on our first raid attempt.

Hit him up in game or send a mail, he was wanting to put together a 10 man! He may be the person you're looking for Les!

Atar — Wed, 12/03/2008 - 09:22

I like this app. Don't be surprised if I ask you to raid one night when you're available.

garreth — Mon, 12/01/2008 - 11:09

I've run a number of instances with Knoppix and I've been impressed each time. I actually met him randomly in Dalaran because Knoppix is the name of a Linux distribution and I was delighted to find another fringe-nerd.

He had started up his own guild, only to have a number of the members sniped right when they were at the verge of 10-man raiding. We all know those frustrations. Knoppix has a small group of friends that would like to come over with him, and I'd really like to see him fire up a 10-man Naxx using the newfound Downfall guildies.

Anyway, this one comes highly recommended by me. But I'd still like to see you guys grill him and keep him on his toes.

Aidin — Mon, 12/01/2008 - 10:32

Ran a H. VH with this fella...the grp had a really crappy time of it. But he kept his head on, and trucked thru with us like a champ with not a single bit of QQ.

Aestrix and I ran with knox last night in HoL. While it was not a successful run, he worked well with us. I like him.
